This paper deals with the recent development of GFRP bars by material hybridization (i.e., “hybrid GFRP bars”). This development attempts to improve the low elastic modulus of GFRP bars to be used for reinforced concrete (RC) structures, especially they were built in a corrosive environment (e.g., waterfront structures). The purpose of material hybridization in this study is to increase the elastic modulus of GFRP bar. Steel wires were inserted to GFRP and dispersed over the cross-section. E-glass fibers and unsaturated polyester resins were pultruded. Several types of the hybrid GFRP bars were tested to evaluate the tensile strength. Mechanical behaviour of hybrid GFRP bars was examined as a function two factors: 1) a ratio of steel to GFRP; 2) a diameter of steel wire. The experimental results showed that the elastic modulus of the hybrid GFRP bar was improved by up to 171% by material hybridization. To ensure the long-term durability of the hybrid GFRP bars in waterfront structure applications, the individual and combined effects of environmental conditions on the hybrid GFRP bar itself as well as on the interface between bar and concrete should be also accessed.

합리적인 온도 설계하중을 연구하기 위하여, 실제 크기의 콘크리트 슬래브가 없는 강상형 거더 교량 시험체를 제작하였다. 높이에 따라 부착된 18개의 온도 게이지에서 5개월 동안 온도 데이터를 측정하였다. 강상형 거더 교량 시험체의 상단과 하단 사이의 온도 차가 계산되고, 온도 구배 모형이 확률 방법으로 제안되었다. 본 연구에서 제시된 모형은 유로 코드에 의해 제안 된 모델과 비교했을 때 약 97%의 상관관계를 보인다. 따라서, 본 연구의 결과로 제안 된 온도 구배 모델은 온도 설계 하중 계산시 기초 자료로 활용 될 수 있다.

Fatigue crack can be a controlling factor in the life of some welding components, such as vertical and horizontal stiffener. In this study, FE analysis was carried out to examine the three-dimensional fatigue crack penetration of gusset welded joint using the finite element analysis program FEMAP and FRANC3D. Three-dimensional fatigue crack penetration analysis result was compared with two dimensional fatigue crack penetration analysis result. From the FE analysis results, stress intensity factor(SIF) and crack propagation cycles were evaluated.

본 연구에서는 불특정 분포하중에 대한 다경간 연속 보 구조물의 변형률 분포를 추정하는 기법을 제시하였다. 본 추정 기법은 해석적 방법이 아닌 계측한 변형률 데이터로부터 최소제곱법을 이용한 커브 피팅을 통해 변형률 분포를 추정하였다. 제시한 다경간 보 연속 구조물의 변형률 추정 기법은 멀티플렉싱이 가능한 FBG센서를 이용하여 다경간 연속 강재 보 정적 가력 실험을 통해 검증하였다. 실험을 통해서 분포 하중과 집중하중에 의한 변형률 분포의 추정 정확성 및 변형률 추정에 사용되는 계측점 수에 따른 추정 오차에 대한 검토를 수행하였다. 5.89 (하중 step1), 6.26% (하중 step2) 오차로 최대 변형률 지점에서의 변형률을 추정할 수 있었다. 추정을 위한 변형률 계측 센서 수를 감소시킨 경우 오차가 증가 (0.26~0.37%)하는 것 또한, 확인할 수 있었다. 회귀분석적 기법을 통해 다경간 보의 변형률 분포를추정함으로써 특정 형상의 분포 하중에 대해서만 적용이 가능한 해석적 변형률 추정 기법의 한계를 넘어 불특정 분포 하중에 대한 변형률분포 추정이 가능해졌고 추정 변형률 분포를 통해 최대변형률 발생 위치까지 확인할 수 있게 되었다.

본 연구에서는 강주탑 기부와 기초콘크리트 연결 구조에 대해서 국내에서 특수교량의 강주탑 기부 설계에 보편적으로 적용하고 있는 明石海峽大橋 시방기준과 비선형 FEM 해석결과를 비교하였다. 明石海峽大橋 시방기준은 1970년도에 만들어진 일본 기준으로 주탑 기부와PS 강봉 및 기초콘크리트를 스프링으로 선형 모델링하여 설계하는 방법으로서 43년이 지난 지금까지도 간편성을 이유로 이 기준을 적용하고 있다. 그러나 비선형 FEM 해석결과의 비교를 통해 특수 장대교의 강주탑 기부의 해석 및 설계에 이 기준을 적용하는 것은 여러 가지 문제점이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 풍하중, 지진하중에 주요하게 저항하면서도 다양한 부재들로 복잡하게 연결된 강주탑 기부에 대해서는한계상태설계법으로 발전하려는 현 시대에 맞추어 실제 거동을 반영하는 비선형 FEM해석을 적용해야 할 것이다.

To evaluate the displacement dependency of metallic damper which has straight type steel strut, cyclic tests are conducted with the target displacement variables on constant velocity. Form this, width to height ratio of strut is 0.079. From the strength and energy dissipation capacity comparison, cyclic test results are short of the static test results. Therefore more detailed design which are considering target structure period and dynamic characteristics is needed.

본 연구의 목적은 일자형 슬릿형 강재댐퍼보다 에너지 소산능력 등이 우수할 것으로 평가된 꺽쇠형 강재 댐퍼의 변위 및 속도의존성 평가에 있다. 이를 위하여 6개의 시험체를 대상으로 의존성 시험을 수행하였다. 시험변수는 변위의존성 및 속도의존성이다. 변위의존성 시험결과, 큰 목표변위 (50mm)의 반복횟수 및 누적에너지소산능력은 적은 목표변위 (25mm)에 비하여 감소하였다. 또한 짧은 목표변위보다 큰 항복강도 및 조기파단을 나타내었다. 속도의존성 평가에서는 빠른 목표속도(60mm/sec)의 반복횟수 및 누적에너지소산능력이 느린 목표속도 (40mm/sec)에 비하여 감소하였다. 따라서 강재댐퍼의 이력 의존성은 가력 변위 및 속도와 밀접한 연관이 있는 것으로 평가되었다.
